A quick recap of yesterday. We went to Main Event for bowling family funtime and to avoid eating all the fried fare they sell there, I packed a wonderful array of fruits and veggies. I didn't have any easily portable meats, so I stopped at the Target and picked up Applegate roasted turkey luncheon meat. Its as close to organic as I could get there. It was delicious! I had packed WAY too much food for mackey and me, but that didn't stop my temptation. My mom ordered a cheeseburger and french fries. My goodness it looked and smelled heavenly!!! Cravings are so hard. I get confused by them. It's almost like a fogginess. It's getting better but man oh man. Then dinner was easy, some pork loin (yum!) and carrots with cantalope for dessert. And for a follow up, Mackey and I went to Midnight Yell Practice (can I get a whoop?) and boy was that fun! But afterwards, I was so hungry and I didn't want to be cooking at 1a, so we went to IHOP. It was hard to pick out a reasonable meal. It wasn't the most lean of meals, but I'm not considering it a loss. Just not a meal I would eat on a regular basis. It was the breakfast sampler without hasbrowns and sub pancakes for fruit. The fruit bowl was icky. The fruit wasn't sweet. meh. that's what you get though. I went hungry and left less than happy, but no longer hungry. They did have a salad that looked promising but I was afraid that if I asked for no this some that but only a little of these, I would end up with spit in my salad. I've never been a picky eater nor a special orderer, so that's going to take some getting used to.
Today, hmmmmm, I don't remember what I ate for breakfast. For lunch I had a chicken breast, cantalope and avocado. Dinner was less because I'm dealing with a sick baby and it makes me nervous. I had the rest of the Applegate lunch meat some raisins, crazy raisins (dried cranberries) and walnuts. Which reminds me, at Target the have some trail mix that fits nicely into Paleo!!! I'll try to find the bag, but I think it was Archer Farms dried fruit mix. It didn't have any added sugar, no salt, just dried fruit and nuts. I'll get back to you on it. But, see, now I'm getting hungry again so maybe I can stomach some more.
Tomorrow is Paleo Potluck!! Hooray!!
Well, i haven't gotten much sleep and the Cotton Bowl is on. I'm out.
you did great yesterday and today! i love reading about how you are dealing with this ridiculous diet. it helps me through it too. and IHOP was fun ;)
ReplyDeletei cooked today,(so goes most days at the station) so i decided on tuna fish sandy and chips for lunch. i only ate whatever chips fit in the palm of my hand and i had a full-blown tuna sandy. i couldn't resist the bread/cheddar/tuna combo. god would have wanted it that way.
dinner... well, i impressed myself. i made a sausage/eggplant pomodoro sauce on rigatoni. the sauce was homemade and filled with veggies. i liked it! but i couldn't help but eat it with the pasta. i also had 2 slices of french bread. i (actually the rookie) made a salad. it was good. i had it with zero dressing.
but the biggest accomplishment as far as i am concerned is: i have not eaten ice cream all day. which is huge considering i have probably eaten ice cream every shift since apr 2004. this was difficult. we have: mocha almond fudge, rocky road and vanilla bean. all blue bell of course. difficult.
Good Jorb Peas! I love you
